Abstract

In the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Supreme Constitutional Court is established to protect the constitution. Granting this jurisdiction to the Supreme Constitutional Court, requires adequate provision of institutional independence of the Court and individual independence of the judges of this court. In a descriptive-analytical way, this paper seeks to answer the question of whether the Supreme Constitutional Court's independence has been secured. The legal measures taken to ensure the institutional independence of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Egypt are: determine the court judges by the General Board, examination of the responsibility of the court judges by the general board, the financial independence of the court and the administrative independence of the court; whereas the irremovability of judges, their long-term membership in the court, the maintenance of their jobs, the prohibition of more than one occupation and the provision of adequate salaries for judges, provides the individual independence of the Supreme Constitutional Court judges. By defining these rules in the Egyptian constitution and ordinary laws, the independence of the court is guaranteed in order to perform its duties and powers correctly and impartially.
